India to go by Ufa statement, downplays remarks by Sartaz Aziz

NEW DELHI: India will go by the joint statement issued after Ufa talks between Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Nawaz Sharif and remarks by Sartaz Aziz will not affect the road for engagement agreed to by the two leaders.


Downplaying comments by Pakistan Prime Minister's Advisor on National Security and Foreign Affairs yesterday, sources said Aziz did not say anything which affected the "actionable propositions" agreed upon during talks between Modi and Sharif in Ufa last week on the sidelines of the SCO summit and his remarks were ostensibly aimed at "domestic audience".

They said India was looking forward for implementation of the decisions agreed upon in the meeting.

Describing the joint statement as a "considered, honest, accurate and reasonable summary of the substance" of the talks, the sources said for India what Islamabad tells is important and not what they say to the domestic audience.

Kashmir won't be discussed...terrorism and Mumbai will be discussed in next Indo-Pak talks.

Sartaj Azizi has this habit of shooting his mouth. But then he has to play to the gallery or the Establishment will take him to task.

Poor chap. He's stuck between a rock and a hard place! I would hate to be in his shoes.
